After the success of ‘Prakambam’, the actors Sagar Surya and Al Ameen teamed up with the Mollywood campus entertainer ‘Derby’ which premiered on March 27. Now the film has spread to negative reactions from netizens. Here’s what Twitter users are saying about the movie.

Derby sets up a campus-based story

“Derby” is set in a college setting and follows a group of students navigating friendship, competition, love and ambition. As the narrative progresses, it shifts to a more competitive space. Personal egos and campus pride begin to take center stage.In reviews on Twitter, viewers have pointed out that the performances and character arcs don’t leave much of an impact.

Twitter reactions

Social media platforms, especially Twitter, are full of audience reactions.One user wrote: “#Derby : Avoidable movie. Very poor direction and technical aspects too. Stay away from theatres!! 0.5/5.” Another viewer commented: “The show is predictable and a cliché campus story with no weird developments. The story unfolds through a college and its gang rivalry and college celebrations.”The technical aspects of the film were also criticized by several viewers. Cinematography, editing and music have been analyzed.A detailed review said, “The film has cinematography by someone like Abhinandan Ramanujam, and the work was very flat. The fight sequences in the film lacked euphoria. They wanted to project. Adam Sabiq this material hero, and unfortunately the editor was fighting for him, and he couldn’t save him either. Gopi Sunder delivers yet another unforgettable album. The dance choreography in that early arts day song is incredibly bad. In this movie, there’s a scene where a bunch of old people are killing a cat to ruin a certain plan, and they’re all wearing a certain costume while they’re doing it. Derby is a collection of such nonsense and cheesy romantic clichés.“

The overall response remains negative

“Derby” was expected to resonate with younger audiences because of its campus setting and related themes. However, early reactions suggest that the film has failed to connect with audiences.The film is directed by Sajil Mampad and has a large ensemble cast. Starring Adam Sabiq, Sagar Surya, AL Ameen and Jasnya Jayadeesh.The supporting cast includes Hari Sivaram, Rish NK, Anu, Jasnya, Franco Francis, Siva Raaj, Praveen and Johnny Antony.
